Summer Solstice : An Introduction to a Ceremony of Lights

About the class

Bridging Ancient Wisdom and Modern Healing.

Jambo will lead a transformative fire ceremony on the Summer Solstice - a sacred day when the sun reaches its zenith, symbolising abundance, growth, and illumination.

This fire ceremony will be guided by the Four Directions Ceremony, a powerful ritual that draws upon the energies and wisdom of the archetypes and elements associated with each direction. Each direction holds its unique qualities, offering guidance, strength, and balance to support participants on their journey.

Through sacred smoke - whether it’s the cleansing scent of herbs, resins, or other sacred plants - the ceremony invokes these energies, enhancing the potency of prayers and intentions.

Breathwork grounds participants in the present moment, aligning mind and body with the elemental forces.

Chanting and songs weave through the ritual, harmonising voices with the vibration of creation and amplifying the charge behind collective prayers.

This sacred container, set during the heightened energy of the solstice, honours the directions as allies in transformation, creating space for healing, clarity, and empowerment.

Jambo’s unique blend of ancestral wisdom and modern healing practices makes this ceremony a profound opportunity to release what no longer serves, ignite intentions for the season ahead, and connect deeply to oneself and the natural world.

All proceeds from this evening will go to Cheltenham Food Bank - https://cheltenham.foodbank.org.uk

About Jambo :

Jambo is a multidisciplinary healer and guide, weaving together decades of training and experience in sacred traditions from around the world. His journey into ceremonial practices began with deep studies under shamanic practitioners from South America, Nepal, and Bhutan, where he learned to honour and channel the wisdom of the elements, archetypes, and sacred directions. These teachings, rooted in ancestral knowledge, are enriched by his expertise as a yoga teacher, bodyworker, and practitioner of complementary medicine.

With over two decades of experience in facilitating transformative spaces, Jambo combines the depth of shamanic ceremony with his knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics, and somatic healing. His ability to guide others stems not only from his extensive training but also from his lived experience of overcoming personal challenges, grounding his work in compassion and authenticity.
